Vanga, the legendary Bulgarian prophetess predicted the September 11 attacks in New York, the death of Princess Diana, and even her own death in 1996. It should be also mentioned here that some of Vanga's prophesies may be considered rather symbolic than literal.

For example, her famous prophecy about the sinking of Kursk, when everybody expected some kind of flood in Kursk town, Russia, while it actually referred to the submarine Kursk which sank in 2000.
